I built a grass tennis court in the Alps. Intensive DIY project that WAS worth it in the end !

FIELD OF DREAMS "Build it and they will come"
A tale of 2 halves literally. Tennis court creation project starting back in 2013 and "finishing" in June 2017.
Longish video clip at beginning but mainly photos after that. Please be patient !

I hope I can make a project like this one day. Can’t wait to have a grass court on my backyard. Beautiful results

Congratulation incredible proyect.😮

[@noahvanhandel6839]

This is absolutely incredible!! Brought tears to my eyes how perfect it turned out, the quality of the grass was impeccable 👍🏼 I’m actually heading to the area this fall for grad school, I’ll be at the Grenoble Ecole de Management. I’m a college level tennis player and haven’t found many areas to play yet, it’s a long shot but I’d love the chance to even play on this once? I’ve never seen a nicer spot for a grass court! My name is Noah and I’d love to get in touch and see the court, if not I totally understand but very well done sir!! 👏🏼

[@longerranger]

Many thanks for your kind comments Noah. Reget the court is “resting”’ for now as we’ve discovered road cycling!
It was a bigger project than I anticipated and the planned 50th birthday tennis party became the 55th! 😂
Enjoy your time in France. Lots of great things to do in and around Grenoble.

Great job. Looks amazing. Where did you get the plans/information to do it?

[@longerranger]

Thanks. There s great book "Grass Tennis Courts: How to Construct and Maintain Them" and of course lots of sources on the internet and RUclips. Go for it!

[@james010181]

This is amazing. Can I ask roughly what it cost in terms of materials please?

[@DarkStar3147]
